So… there’s a lot of threads here where a “developer” or “tech dude” hoses their clients somehow. (Im not linking to them all)They have no conscience… They take their money… and walk.
We are stuck aren’t we?.. It’s not right. And even some new threads here are asking “why should i use letsencrypt” when i can pay for a fancy cert that makes no difference but makes my “tech” happy? … It is because the “developers and techs” are relying on the upstream support to do it for them. They don’t have to know. I understand. I was there.
And the upstream providers are advertising that customers have 24/7 SUPPORT! So “spend the money” and you can encrypt your site. What a joke.
“The proof is in the pudding”. (So to speak) If you look at your own thread, you will see this community has come to your defense and helped you… INSTANTLY! This is the way it should be. And it is.
@_az has removed his reply, but I’ll bet it was more pointed than mine. I would tell my developer to stick to whatever he does well and leave the rest alone. (OR TAKE A HIKE) This community is here to help you as they have helped me… and thousands of others in our shoes.
No commercial organization would provide us the in-depth support that we get here. So the support argument is mute. It’s not about the money. It’s about securing the web.
You “have root”. Use it! And you have a certificate also… use it too!
I’m guessing there’s likely 3 or 4 Engineers here working their hearts out to to accomplish a humongous task. Think about that. It is unbelievable.
Stick with us.
Welcome to the community!
